Benefits of technology

[0009] In particular, the reactor according to the invention enables the production of polymers with a narrow molecular weight distribution, with a defined average molecular weight and with a high monomer conversion. The reactor has a very good discharge of heat, has a simple construction and provides good intermixing of the materials.

Problems solved by technology

The costs and risks are drawbacks when using solvents in these processes, especially if solvent-free acryl polymers are desired.
Bulk polymerization is possible only to a limited extent in continuous stirred-tank reactors owing to the relatively high degree of heat liberation during rapid polymerization reactions, for example, by direct cooling via the educt feed.
During an absence or interruption in educt feed, there is a risk of an uncontrolled run-through.
Apart from the high investment costs, the drawback of static mixers resides in the difficulty in cleaning the reactor.

example

[0078] The used monomer mixtures of the experiments 1 to 5 are described in Table 1 comprising the parts per weight of methyl methacrylate (MMA), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), styrene and initiator. Di-tertiary butyl peroxide resp. tertiary butylperoxi-2-ethyl-peroxi hexanoate (TBPEH) und di-tertiary amylperoxide (Tx 201 of Akzo Nobel) are used as initiator. The mixture is fed into the reactor according to FIG. 2 and is polymerized with the temperature and the residence time as described in Table 1.

Abstract

The invention relates to a loop reactor for carrying out continuous polymerization reactions for the production of polymers with adjustable polymer properties comprising a three-dimensional tubular loop comprising at least two tube bends with interposed tube segments, the tube bends having a curving angle of greater than 30°, and the distance between two tube bends being at least three times the tube diameter, the tube bends and the tube segments being arranged in a direction reversed to the curving direction of the tube bends arranging in succession.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 601,428, filed Aug. 12, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by references in its entirely.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates to a reactor for carrying out continuous polymerization reactions and to a process for the continuous production of poly(meth) acrylates in this reactor. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART [0003] A number of procedures are known for producing acrylic polymers. Achievement of the desired molecular weight and molecular weight distribution is influenced by the method of process control under discontinuous, semi-continuous and / or continuous mode of operation, by the reaction conditions and the selection of the material system. Solvent, type and concentration of initiator and regulator can therefore be selected purposefully for adjustment of a desired molecular weight and distribution. The costs and risks are drawbacks when using solvents...
